Many organizations have found themselves well advanced in their sustainability strategies and reaching the limits of progress made through eco-efficiency measures and regulatory compliance. Looking for novel approaches and solutions, many managers are turning to bioinspiration a…
Western cultures have subjugated nature to mankind, depleted her resources, and polluted the natural world in the name of growth and economic development. The superiority of man and his domination of the environment has ushered in a new geological and anthropogenic epoch, an unp…
Whereas many have surmised that the technological vision for biorobotics originated with science fiction, it actually originated much earlier, in a constellation of science-influenced works of fiction in the romance tradition little-known as the “scientific romance”. The scienti…
